    October 1st Weigh-In


    Let the challenge begin!

    In a lot of other challenges, people list their MFP starting weight, current weight, and goal weight. Since this is a 10 pound challenge, let's list our current weight this week and next Monday we can add October pounds lost. I remember once in a WW meeting the leader told us her Monday groups were always the most successful because they were more careful on the weekends!

    Welcome to the October group. This is a great time of year to get started, by the time Halloween hits we will be on a roll and not be tempted to give up and eat all that extra candy that seems to be everywhere. How is day 2 going? I passed up on a slice of chocolate cake from a huge sheet cake that someone brought to work today. Couldn't let you guys (or myself) down. I am also completely sore from yesterday's workout and have a huge knot in my B-hind so that was a big reminder to keep focused :)

    Do not have PCOS but interested in paleo diet. Tried it a couple of days and have ended up caving (no pun intended) by dinner when my husband breaks out the loaf of whole grain bread he purchases daily from the bakery. I wonder why I have a weight problem?

    Hi Zaedra, thank you for your reply. I think I overdo it in those group classes because I'm trying to keep up with everyone else. I am impressed with your rowing. My hamstrings always tighten up when we do the rowing portion and I start off strong then completely struggle to get it done. I know I'm supposed to lean back but my core is too weak, I think to do it effectively. I keep telling myself Rome wasn't built in a day. Hope you are feeling no pain today!

    Hi Zyaedra,

    I have already done Insanity last year around August and I lost around 6kgs in about 1.5months. I was in India at that time so I wasnt getting proper nutrition. I had very few choices of veggies, fats and protein. I started around 76.5kg and when I stopped i was 70kgs. After I got back in December to Canada...I have been super lazy :( always in bed and always eating processed food, pizza's, chinese etc and gained 15kg :O in about a year. I am ready to get it off now :) I take before pictures of my body and also my acne to see the changes :)
